WESLEY CHAPEL, FL -- Two 15-year-old Wesley Chapel boys were charged with raping a 15-year-old girl while she was asleep.

One of the teen boys was arrested and taken to the Land O' Lakes Detention Center on Feb. 21. Because of the severity of the charges, he did not qualify for the juvenile diversion program. The other teen is still at large.

The teen girl told deputies that in the early-morning hours of Feb. 17, she woke up to find the two teen boys sexually assaulting her. When she protested, she said one of the boys held her down while the other continued to rape her and then forced her to perform oral sex.
